Photographer's Note

A variety of architectural styles can be found in Vienna, such as the Romanesque Ruprechtskirche and the Baroque Karlskirche. Styles range from classicist buildings to modern architecture. Art Nouveau left many architectural traces in Vienna. The Secession, Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station, and the Kirche am Steinhof by Otto Wagner rank among the best known examples of Art Nouveau in the world. Wagner's prominent student Jože Plečnik from Slovenia also left important traces in Vienna. His works include the Langer House (1900) and the Zacherlhaus (1903–1905). Plečnik's 1910–1913 Church of the Holy Spirit (Heilig-Geist-Kirche (de)) in Vienna is remarkable for its innovative use of poured-in-place concrete as both structure and exterior surface, and also for its abstracted classical form language. Most radical is the church's crypt, with its slender concrete columns and angular, cubist capitals and bases.

Concurrent to the Art Nouveau movement was the Wiener Moderne, during which some architects shunned the use of extraneous adornment. A key architect of this period was Adolf Loos, whose works include the Looshaus (1909), the Kärntner Bar or American Bar (1908) and the Steiner House (1910).

Hello Daniel,
Though the bulb-glare was too intense, it did lit wonderfully the wall behind, which is remarkably beautiful from centuries ago.
I guess you had no other choice, but to include the lamp.
My best regards,
Ike

Hello Daniel,
You managed a lot of fine details into this nicely cropped photo. There is no part of it that is uninteresting and the colours and light are very pleasant. In the note there are lots of descriptions of architects, buildings and styles but I don't find any reference to this particular building.
Regards,
Gert

You have shown us a very attractive frontage, showing one of the exquisite architectural styles to be found in Vienna.
You have cropped the scene well to give good balance and to really emphasise the decorative windows as well as the sculptures
The light acts like an artistic addition, illuminating the exhibit!

Hello Daniel.
Magnificent composition, with this nice detail of the facade of this building, very ornate windows and a curious medallion.
A pretty colorful, powering image.
Well seen and fulfilled. I like it.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.
